Zibri’s ZiPhone Software Successfully Jailbreaks Firmware 2.0

Posted by Jody Mitoma on May 2, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Zibri officially announces that his upcoming version of the oh-so-popular ZiPhone software is able to unlock and jailbreak firmware 2.0 successfully.

Zibri states:

“Firmware 2.0 will require a new iTunes version and a new “mobiledevice” framework. If it were for me I would not even bother to hack this version but I know many of you are going to upgrade so I will release a new ziphone version after the official release. I already patched activation (lockdownd) and unlock / Fake IMEI (baseband firmware).”

Some pre-release editions of iPhone OS 2.0 can already be unlocked and jailbroken with the use of Pwnage, a tool exploits a low-level vulnerability in the iPhone’s boot process to allow the installation of custom OS files. This has allowed users to install pre-release versions of the iPhone OS, such as OS 2.0, which normally require expressed authorization and a special signature from Apple.

    It isn’t available yet. So far the only forthcoming jailbreaks for iPhone 2.0 will be coming from Pwnage (no release date yet) and Geohot (supposedly Tuesday at 6pm is its release date).
